Xperia T2 Ultra hands-on pics; get a look at the 6-inch IPS display

Following on from the live pics of the Xperia E1 earlier, here are some hands-on pictures of the 6-inch Xperia T2 Ultra. It is nice to see Sony start to use better displays in its handsets – both the Xperia Z1 Compact and Xperia T2 Ultra will sport IPS displays. The evidence can be seen below with the Xperia T2 Ultra sporting wider viewing angles than other Xperia handsets launched in 2013. Once again, the Xperia T2 Ultra is beautifully designed, although we’re not sure if it usurps last year’s Xperia Z Ultra. We can’t wait to get hands on ourselves to find out.

design wise is super sleek… finally a Sony phone with an all white design, unlike Z, ZU, Z1 and many others with those black front panels
i just dont get why Sony loves placing headphones jack on the side instead of top or bottom, it’s not comfortable at all
hopefully the Z2 will also get a Z2 Ultra, but with a 6 inch display instead of 6.4 like current Z Ultra

Don’t blast me but it kinda looks like a modern version of the white Samsung S2

If it’s available in Brazil and has a price similar to the SP, then it’ll be my new phone.

There you go subnormals, now ask for a screen which can be viewed from 180+ degrees angle… lol

DooMLoRD

not bad at all… the device looks classy… hope the in hand feel is good…

Flutterphael

SP was also white on the front panel in the white version :)

Weh

Omg… I think i might get this one instead of z1 and ultra. Crazy amazing!!!

Damn SONY this phone is so incredible…!

Good see that the viewing angle problem will not be carried into 2014. Z ultra’s display still looks the best but this is also very good. Better design than the z1 for sure but those bezels could still do with some shrinking.

rexperia

Xperia L, M, C as well..

nidou bossy

Viewing angle complainers now no more nag bitches!
the phone looks WANTED!

cesar suarez

Perito Moreno Argentina?

monther ducking *(&#(

And they still DAREd to promote the Z1 as “THE BEST OF SONY” =.=

Battal Aljadei

I told you guys, if SONY want to be the best in smartphone they can but they always delay it !
That’s awesome screen which’s “SONY, Toshiba, Hitachi, Japan Display INC” Joint result .
Now the next steps for SONY should be:

In fact the s-master chip is not a DAC but an amplifier chip which doesn’t help so much for portable headphone. so I hope they will use acceptable DAC chip such as Wolfson (use on their wireless headset pro) or burr-brown (use in FIIO portable DAC/AMP).

Well if SONY really care about their customer they should do this ASAP.

Waiting for the IPS display hateres/viewing angles. beautiful screen

I can guarantee that if Sony ever even just put a phone like this in massive production, they might not even make it to the end of that financial year. All of the developmental investment are all concentrated toward the development of the 4K and its content, Sony does not have enough resource to make a supreme phone right now. And please do understand that sharing part of a company does not mean to have free product or even advantage price. Like Exmors are made by Sony but SM still have to pay to use ’em. There are regulations problem and other concerns about this issue too. Sony is the biggest mobile sensor producer, they have to sell some of their product to others. And SM is not even close to it’s biggest client, So Sony have to keep decent relationship with other OEMs. So too aggressive action like making too many sensor Xperia exclusive can lead to some serious problem like skyrocketing high price of Samsung’s RAM chip.
As for S-Master, that thing is a battery drainer, don’t you see how huge are Walkmans? With communications futures, can you even imagine the battery necessary for it to run couple hours?

LuongHV

amazing…attractive design. It’s so incredible!

jj

It’s not water-dustproof is it?

Mohit

What is the name of camera widget below walkman and phots and videos… I can’t find it in my z Ultra

MONSTER AMIT

The resolution of this phone is 720p HD….

ZhoraGosha

Not haters, it was reasonably huge flaw, and now it started to fade away – Tablet Z, Z Ultra, Z1 Compact, T2 Ultra – cudos to Sony

Idiot

Dont tell osny ,their engineers are capable of putting noise cancel chip to xperia,they are not doing this bcoz,it will hurt walkman sales

Mahesh

Xperia ZL remember :D

Xyor

Ohh, darling, they sure can. They might even able to make Xperia operate a car. But it will hurt the car entertainment dock’s sale so they just have to give up.
You lost my point there, they can do a lot of things, but we’re not talking about capabilities. Having a concept is easy, but doing a massive production has a lot of compromising involved .

VXIII

It is called ” Cameras ” , it was first introduced in Z1

Lucas Lam

So beautiful :(

sealplayerz

have you listen with Sony Walkman with S-Master chip itself? how can you say S-Master chip doesn’t help so much for portable headphone? S-Master chip help so much for portable headphone. sound quality on Sony Walkman with S-Master chip is more better than another mobile phone because it’s DAP.

near perfect, just the bottom bezel is pretty boring, maybe sony can put there beautiful notification module or simply xperia logo.

xperiax10.awesome

T2 is not low end – its mid range device, lot of Note 2, 3 customers can look out for this !!

Chetan Reddy

yeah for sure ,they would put all those features along with a price tag of some 800-1000 us dollars …..
sad part is even if we buy such device in under 5 months much better device comes out and our device becomes old

Amir

it’s a budget phone. i guess it’s still early for budget phones to have FHD. if you want the whole experience then wait for next Z Ultra.

11

SONY release a xperia car entertainment dock…..

11

SONY will put walkman audio chip to Xperia. It’s in the plan

Adeel

How good is the 13MP camera? Is it as good as Xperia Z? Or a joke like Xperia Z Ultra?

Battal Aljadei

i didn’t ask for supreme phone as you claim !
all i’m asking is Walkman chip (OR MINI one) and an Optical image stabilization for the mobile camera, is that to much for SONY ? i don’t think so .

You’re so right!!!
Because of a few subnormals, now sony is using screen with better contrast in their flagship.
I’m so pissed off!
Now when I’ll put my device in a dockstation or want to show some media to a group of friends,
I won’t see anymore the screen to begin to washed out…

What a shame…

Lunkz

Source?
They would shoot in their own knee, did you forget the announcement last year for the 2 New Walkman Android Player?

yes i’v read that but the possibilities that device will not have good sales for Sony
and i hope so, because i want it on my smartphone not as a separated device,
almost everything noways is on smartphone, why not Walkman on Sony flagship ?

Maybe the reason is, because Apple does it with iPhone Touch or what they call them, which has only WiFi and mainly used as a Music Player.

Battal Aljadei

You mean ipod ?, i think so but who cares about ipod anymore ? it’s only a mini iphone without sim card, the sad thing is, why Sony care while they have had Live with Walkman, and other walkman smartphone models ?

elpollillo

You definitively don’t get it dude.. The thing here is that some people out there are never happy, and always come back complaining about this or that, in this case the screen, at some point somebody probably will come saying “oh it’s no so bright under sunlight” or something like that..
And two things:
-T2 Ultra is not flagship
-If you want to show media to a group of friends, try a Bravia LED TV, they are looooovely..

Amir Salach

FINALLY the front is WHITE like the whole phone! (nice silver on the sides)

i dislikes it when the front is black and the rest of the phone is the actuall color.

i love my screen to be surrounded by white not black.

Simão Lúcio

You’re totally right….dude
I don’t get it
Why Sony build these looooovely bravia led tv and then put this kind of screen in their flagship?

And you realize that I don’t always have my big bravia tv with me when I’m with my friends, don’t you?

elpollillo

Haha, or you have no common sense, or must be a serious troll..
And if you are using the docking station, you must possibly be at home…

Guys, sorry for bad english, i am thinking in buy the T2 Ultra Dual when
it releases in Brazil to replace my old and obsolete Xperia S. Do you
think 1GB RAM will be enough for android 4.3? Thanks!! :D

Sand

Im too, my only doubt is about 1GB Ram, if this will be enough for handle android 4.3, and hopes it get updated soon!

Sand

Except for having only 1GB RAM :/

Sand

Eu tbm!!!
Me Too!!!

Sand

Does it have LED notification?

Sd

now i realized that the software running on this pictures is far diferent from the one that is on market photos os product. Check the transparency at bottom and top, on this hands on it is not transparent, but in the market photos os product it it.
